Staller K, et al. - A prospective study was performed to examine the association between long-term dietary fiber intake and risk of fecal incontinence (FI) in older women. This study was conducted on fifty-eight thousand, three hundred thirty older women who were free of FI in 2008. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for FI according to fiber intake, adjusting for potential confounding factors. Researchers found higher long-term intake of dietary fiber to be associated with lowered risk of FI in an analysis of data from almost 60,000 older women in the Nurses’ Health Study.
